Pretty Little Mess
Y/N has never had the kind of childhood people dream about. Y/N has learned to keep her head down, hide the bruises, and pretend everything is fine—even when it isn’t. Then she meets Jaxson Carter, a police officer who notices far more than Y/N wants him to. At first, Jaxson is simply someone who keeps showing up when she needs help. He sees through her excuses, recognizes the fear behind her attitude, and refuses to treat her like another problem to solve. The more time they spend around each other, the harder it becomes for either of them to ignore the connection growing between them. But Jaxson knows there are lines an officer shouldn’t cross, and Y/N’s complicated home life makes everything even more dangerous. As Y/N’s life begins unraveling, Jaxson finds himself caught between his duty, his feelings, and the desperate need to protect someone who has never had anyone consistently protect her. Because sometimes the person who saves you isn’t the person you expected to find—and sometimes falling for the wrong person feels a lot like finally being safe.
